View certificates of analysisThis peptide is analyzed by an accredited US third-party laboratory before it ships.
Identity and purity confirmed by MZ Biolabs (Tucson, AZ), a US DEA-licensed analytical facility, via HPLC purity analysis and mass-spectrometry identity confirmation under GLP standards.
Our third-party certificates of analysis are published on our website — no login required.
Peptides are photo- and temperature-sensitive; handle per standard laboratory practice.
Quality control across the research-peptide industry is inconsistent, and many suppliers do not publish third-party testing for their products. Independent verification of identity and purity is essential for reproducible research.
Verified by MZ Biolabs (Tucson, AZ), an accredited US laboratory, via HPLC and mass spectrometry, with batch-linked COAs.
Freeze-dried into sterile, UV-resistant glass vials and packaged in the USA.
Supports chain-of-custody, label transparency, and batch-linked traceability.

KPV is a synthetic tripeptide with the sequence Lys-Pro-Val. It corresponds to the C-terminal three amino acids (residues 11–13) of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), and is therefore described as a fragment of the α-MSH / melanocortin peptide family.
In the research literature, its activity has been examined in relation to the melanocortin receptors, including MC1R and MC3R. It is used as a research chemical to investigate KPV and melanocortin-fragment peptide biology in experimental models.
KPV is an experimental research chemical, supplied strictly for laboratory research. Sports Technology Labs makes no claims regarding its effects, and nothing in this listing should be interpreted as describing outcomes in humans or animals.
KPV is an investigational research peptide. It is not approved by the FDA and is not a drug, food, dietary supplement, or cosmetic. Marketing it for human use is unlawful.
KPV is not currently listed on the World Anti-Doping Agency Prohibited List.
In the United States, KPV is not a controlled substance and may be legally purchased and possessed for laboratory research use. Other jurisdictions may regulate it differently.
Sports Technology Labs are chemical suppliers, not medical providers. We do not condone or encourage consumer use of research compounds.
